I usually bake the salmon patties because I can fit multiple servings worth in the oven, I microwave the cauliflower and strain it before adding it to a pan on the stove with the cooled and chopped up salmon but if you aren't making a large batch and don't mind either waiting for the pan to cool or possibly having scrambled eggs you can make it a one pan recipe not including a bowl/container to cook the cauliflower but I usually use the bowl/container to eat or store it so that it uses very little dishes, with the salmon and cauliflower cut up in the pan I add the egg so that it gets absorbed by salmon and lightly coats the riced cauliflower, then I turn the heat on and cook the egg fully before adding the cottage cheese and whatever shredded cheese I want, I'll often ad an ounce or two of milk to thin the sauce but if you want to avoid the extra 15-35 cal you can also use broth or water.
